The Brockbuster Bat is designed to help hitters increase bat speed and correct hitting faults with instant feedback. It’s 42 inches long and the object is get the hitter to “snap” the bat and not swing it. If he swings the brockbuster bat, it won’t be a good swing, more like a “looping” or “sweeping” swing. The bat magnifies hitting errors and produces a more powerful swing. We’ve seen an increase of up to 30% in bat speed using this tool.

We also put a “percussion” or pad towards the top of the bat. That’s the only part of the bat that we want to feel some weight. The brockbuster bat is like hitting the speed bag in boxing.

There is a 6 in string attached to the top of the bat that is attached to a wiffle ball. The purpose of the wiffle ball is to hear the “swishing” sound… that gives the instant feedback on the correct stroke. Hitters almost immediately see in increase in bat speed by doing just a few of the workouts that we provide in our Super 8 Hitting System.

We start out by doing overhead snaps for our brockbuster bat workout to get the wrists moving and creating muscle memory on snapping to the ball, or exploding to the ball. We take that same snap and move it in to the hitting zone. We can work on high pitches and low pitches with the bat.

We want short snaps to work on hitting more balls and more line drives, instead of pop ups and grounds balls.

Coach Joe Brockhoff designed the Brockbuster Bat to increase bat speed and correct common hitting faults to eliminate the looping or sweeping swing. You can purchase the brockbuster bat here.
